Hoarded quests WILL give XP after WotLK release

Blizzard has confirmed that quests completed before the expansion but turned in after you upgrade WILL give experience.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Q u o t e:I'd assume I'd get XP, because the XP-or-gold determination is made at hand-in, not while performing the task. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Correct.

Hooray!

NB: some people are misinterpreting this and saying that you shouldn't waste your time doing daily quests because Northrend quests give 20k xp each. That's fine; but when people mention this, they are not talking about ignoring Northrend for a couple of hours in favour of doing TBC dailies instead. They are referring to doing 25 dailies this week and keeping them in your log. Then, on Thursday, after you upgrade to WotLK, you zip around and hand them in (15-20 minutes tops) for somewhere in the vicinity of 20% of a level.

I already have a list of which dailies are the most beneficial, and a plan for where to park my toon and how to whip around to hand them in on the day.

20% of a level for around 15 minutes work is definitely worth it, in my opinion.

Edit: Here is the list I put together a while ago. You may find it helpful - there are still a few days left to get your dailies done!

DAILY QUESTS FOR XP

If you have all the Netherwing quests, my suggestion is:

- park at Netherwing ledge (or use your BT neck if you have one), hand in quests- hearth to Shatt, port to the Isle, hand in quests- use your scroll to get back to Shatt, hand in quests- port to Orgrimmar or Stormwind and head to Northrend

Make sure you do the quests ahead of time (don't do dailies on release day, that is not a good use of your time as Northrend quests are worth a lot more). This should only take 15-20 minutes to zip around and hand them in, since you can port to the major quest hubs.

===============================================IF YOU CAN DO NETHERWINGIf you are able to do the Netherwing daily quests, this is the list of quests you should aim for.

I picked all the highest turn in quests. I have the BT neck and will start out handing in quests at ogrila then dashing over to HFP to hand in the blood quest. Once that is done i will port to BT and hand in my netherwing dodads, hearth / hand ins via SSO and Shat. Then hi ho on my way to Northrend we go.
